CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Robbie Keane scored a spectacular goal midway through the first half, Gyasi Zardes added another strike before halftime and the Los Angeles Galaxy beat FC Dallas 2-1 on Wednesday night to end their winless streak at four games.

At home for the first time in 5½ weeks, the Galaxy (3-3-3) climbed out of last place in the Western Conference, pulling two points ahead of Chivas USA, San Jose and Portland. Los Angeles was 0-2-2 in its previous four games — all on the road — since winning on April 12.

FC Dallas (5-6-2) is winless in six games. It lost for the fifth time in six games and sixth in eight.

Keane scored on a 20-yard rocket to the upper-left corner from a defense-splitting Zardes pass in the 23rd minute, his sixth goal of the season, and Zardes found space between three defenders to head home a chip from Juninho in the 44th minute.

Rookie Tesho Akindele scored his first professional goal in the 65th minute for FC Dallas, first-timing a feed from Jair Benitez.
